real video stream can not be saved on the user side flv as progressive download can using FMS or equivalent to serve real streamed flash video will not allow your user to download it per se after, someone can record the feed as any other streaming technology anyway, just don't confound progressive download and streaming not the same thing at all cf this "Delivering Flash Video: Understanding the Difference Between Progressive Download and Streaming Video" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_download.html cheers, zwetan _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
